    I don't feel sorry for them. If you waste a bunch of cash building around a 39 year old QB, you deserve the hole you dug for yourself.

    I'm amazed the Colts got pounded by the Cowboys like they did about a month ago...considering the performance they just rung up.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    This lose by the BRONCOS today.

    If you've been paying close attention it should be no surprize.

    The Peyton Manning experiment is over. The thing I suspect.

    Peyton Manning doesn't get it. He'll continue as he still has records to achieve.

    I'm thinking of Brett Favre and his last season. I'm thinking of Johnny Unitas (1971-73 or even before that) and Joe Montana (1993-94) and how many others that stay too long in Pro Sports.

    As I watched Peyton Manning today I felt he really doesn't get it. When he exited the stadium for the locker room he even failed to acknowledge the fans cheers.

    He lost a game ...so did his fans.

    I wonder how 'guaranteed' that $20M is? Peyton showed once before, during his last season with the Colts, that he has no problem collecting his paycheck when not playing. You could argue that he has already earned that money with the success the Broncos have had while he is there, but if they're paying him that money to not play they will struggle to field a competitive team.
